Meet Mark

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I’m 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we’ve assumed to be true about health and wellness...

Keto Chicken Pot Pies

Pot pies—like sloppy joes—are a comfort food classic that feeds our nostalgia as well as appetite. Meat and veggies in a creamy sauce that’s topped with a crunchy topping…what’s not to love?

It might seem, however, that pot pie isn’t compatible with a Primal, let alone keto, plan. Au contraire. We’ve serving up a recipe today that turns that assumption on its head. Pot pie is no longer pie in the sky for the keto eater. Enjoy!

I think there is a mistake here… Peas are legumes and not part of a primal/paleo diet. They’re also pretty high in carbs. I don’t see mushrooms in the pictures. Are these stock photos or something? I know a lot of cookbooks/food blogs have been called out for that.

The biscuit topping is made with almond flour (coconut can’t sub directly – you’d have to find a coconut flour biscuit recipe – that flour requires a LOT of moisture). The arrow root is to thicken the sauce. I’ve had good luck with tapioca or potato starch for the same thing, though arrowroot is my favorite (and I can find it easily and cheaply at my local grocer).
